Smartivity Craft Kit, Robot Hand, Elementary School, Lower Grades, Ages 8 and Up

• [A craft kit that helps you build and learn the basics of science, perfect for summer vacation independent research] The “Freely movable robot hand” is a DIY STEAM educational toy that allows you to learn about the structure of the hand and mechanical structures by assembling and playing with it yourself. There are many tasks that you can try using the completed robot hand, and you can develop concentration through the process of “making” and “playing”. The process of making it will increase your interest in the structure of the hand, and then by actually experiencing experiments using your own hand, you will further increase your interest and deepen your understanding. For example, the challenge of working on various tasks without being able to use your thumb can help you develop the ability to face difficulties and also teach you that there are people in various situations. Through this experience, you can develop a sense of compassion and empathy for others, and by broadening your horizons, you will be able to grow into a rich talent that can be active in the future. In addition, the completed robot hand can be handled like your own hand and can be moved freely, so you can enjoy thinking up ways to play with it and devising ways to do it, which will also improve your imagination and creativity. 　
• [Play and develop your creativity and thinking skills] By creating a robot hand from a combination of rubber bands and parts, you can understand and experience engineering gimmicks. By assembling it yourself from scratch, you can train your thinking skills, calculation skills to design from start to finish, and imagination. In addition, using your fingertips while playing will train your concentration and fingertip control, and you can develop logical thinking skills and the ability to think for yourself and complete things, which are essential for programming studies that require steady and detailed work. The screen-free and non-digital experience of thinking with your own power, using your hands, completing and playing with a DIY assembly kit will give your child the joy and sense of accomplishment of “I did it!” and give them confidence.
• [Experience anatomy] The structure of the human hand is reproduced, so you can learn not only engineering content but also anatomy. By assembling a DIY kit that reproduces bones, joints, and ligaments, you can understand the anatomy of the hand and develop an interest in the human body. The completed robot hand can be moved in the same way as a human hand, so you can learn about the structure of the hand and the mechanical structure while moving it and playing, and it is possible to simulate conditions such as ligament rupture, which are difficult to experience in reality. Learning while playing makes anatomy feel familiar, and knowing the relationship between engineering and anatomy will draw out children’s intellectual curiosity and broaden their horizons. Smartivity is an assembly-type educational toy that has cleared the strict standards of each country and has been proven physically safe in addition to scientific tests. The MDF parts used are safe and do not produce splinters, so you can concentrate on playing with less worry about injury. It is an educational toy that is kind to children and the earth, using durable and long-lasting materials to enjoy it for a long time, and it is not just about assembling it, but also includes various ways to play and many learning elements.
• [Enthusiastic play experience expands curiosity] This is an experiential learning kit that will create an opportunity to become interested in engineering through play and will be the foundation of future STEAM learning. By assembling the robot hand, you can learn about the mechanism of gears and linkage mechanisms, and by learning about the role of gears and the function of gear trains (structures that combine two or more gears), you will increase your interest in familiar machines and structures, and acquire the flow of asking questions and connecting them to learning. STEAM is an educational concept that combines the initial letters of five words: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics, and was born as the world changes dramatically due to the influence of AI (artificial intelligence) and technological innovation. By learning these in total, you can cultivate the basic skills of IT skills and technology development that are indispensable in the future world, and acquire the ability to think for yourself and derive answers theoretically.
